Ð¸Ð¼Ñ ÐºÐ¸Ð¹; born Nikolai Alexandrovich Kurmashov; February 18, 1886

writer. He was born in Moscow, Russia. In 1931, he directed and
starred in Pas sur la bouche (Not on the Mouth), based on an operetta
by André Barde.In The Happy Death (L'heureuse mort, 1924, with a
screenplay by Rimsky from the story by Countess Baillehache) he plays
an unsuccessful and unpleasant playwright who suddenly becomes much
more successful when he is believed drowned (and also plays his
brother who turns up for the funeral). Linda Williams, who calls
Rimsky a "great comedian", praises his performance as "a gem of comic
timing". Leonard Maltin said the film's "cynical take on the nature of
celebrity makes it seem quite modern".He also starred in comedy
Because I Love You (Parce Que Je T'Aime, 1929) as a professor who
marries his secretary then loses her affections to his godson.
